Out with the old, in with the new. Last week writer Brian K. Vaughan announced he and artist Adrian Alphona would be leaving Runaways, their superpowered-teens-on-the-run series with issue #24. Now, Marvel has unveiled the new team. Artist Michael Ryan (New Excalibur) and a young writer named Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly).
Why? Here's what Whedon told Newsarama:
"I just love the book . . . I couldn't help myself. I seldom make intelligent choices and when I do they usually turn out to be really stupid decisions. So I'm going with love. Following Brian [Vaughan] on any book is idiotic, but playing with these kids makes it worth the hilarious drop in quality we're all gonna enjoy.
